What will happen if you go to a strange café where you are offered a soup with a fly, a curry with a beetle, and a yummy dish of crow’s feet? Will you eat, or will you run away quickly from there? Find out, in Ruskin Bond’s hilarious poem ‘In A Strange Café’.
In ‘If Mice Could Roar’ we wonder what will happen if tigers eat biscuits, teachers get lost in the post, and if instead of bullets, flowers came out of guns. Wouldn’t all this make this world a better place?
Ruskin Bond’s tender words and impish wit come alive in these two poems, accompanied by joyful illustrations that will make Two Funny Poems a collection to treasure forever.
Ruskin Bond is the author of numerous novellas, short-story collections and non-fiction books, many of them classics. Among them are When I Was a Boy, Lone Fox Dancing, The Room on the Roof, A Flight of Pigeons, and A Book of Simple Living. He received the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1993, the Padma Shri in 1999 and the Padma Bhushan in 2014.
